SUPPORT YOUR OWN PAPER.
-
The following good reasons are
why our people should support a
paper owned and controlled by
men of their own race:
Ist. —It shows a mark of intelligence,
pride, and concentration of thought
which may shape and guide us in the
future and elevate our condition.
2nd. — Because the colored people are
a dieparate race, associating with theni
selyes and other papers as a rule, do not
publish their social and domestic affairs.
*3d.—Because when questions arise
that divide us socially or politically
from the white race, we have a paper to
speak on our side of the ques’ion.
* 4th.—Because >»e have the n*rve
and manhood to stand up and advocate
in our journals, all privileges f««r ur
race tint are enjoyed by the white citi
. 2e'>H of this country
Because it ia the only means by
which we can teach anti educate the
minds of our people to become active
an'd progressive and show t> lb world
what we ate doing t ■ advance the inter
eats of our *aee. A hundred other
reasons t<s> numerous (,» mention, might

The Globe of Wichita, Kan.
says that
R. B. Elliott is the only colored man in
Congress and was elected on the Democratic
ticket from Robert Small’s district*
Brother Roberson is mistaken. An
attepipt has been made to count in
Col. Wm. Elliott (a white man) in
place of Hon. Robert Smalls who
was honestly elected from the 7th
South Carolina District. Col. R. B.

A VACANT CLERKSHIP!
A VOTE ON THE MARKET!
WHO BIDS? WHO BIDS? WHO
BIDS?
Edito*
A vacancy exists in the office of
Clerk of the Superior Court in
this county, and the political waters
are again agitated. Ere the oim
tnissioners have named an election
day. two candidates, bo h estimable
gentlemen, have announced them
selves. Speculations are being made
as to what element will support one
candidate and what element will
support the other, and when the
varioiH white elements have been
duly assigned, the question arises,
how about the Nngro vote; of which
there are nine hundred registered,
and which if concentrated can con
trol the election.
Heretofore the Negro vote has
been placed upon the market as a
commercial commodity and knock
ed do.vn to the highest bidder lor a
paltry rum. a miserable pitton e. So
far has this practice been carried
that candidates in previous contests
have boasted that “the Negro vote
could be bought like sheep on elec
tion dav” That assertion as hu
miliating as it seems is nevertheless
true. Men armed with the ballot,
the highest privilege of an Ameri
can citizen, the safeguard of his
liberties, have stood around the
polls and sold themselves like sheep.
There are too serious questions
which arise in this connection, and
which are worthy of investigation.
What interest h>s th * Negro in
modern local elections? What in
centive has he to vote beyond the
pittance which he receives? The
reply suggests itself. None what
ever. He has no representation in.
noranv of the honors or emoluments
of < ffice. I have no doubt that if
colored men had an incentive they
would abandon the criminal prac
tice of selling their votes and vole
on principle, like other men.
I have been induced to write this
communica'ion, not that I am an
aspirant for official preferment, bu’
because of a question which was
propounded to me. to wit; “which
of the two candidates will you Sup
port?’’ To which I replied, “both
candidates are such excellent gen
tlemen that should 1 ■•onclude to
vote it would be difficult to decide
whom to support.” The Morning
News says that the emoluments if
the office amount to five thousand
dollars per annum. Tbart is a vast
amount of clerical work to be per
formed. and of course a cleric >1
force must be employed to do the
same. It either candidate has th'*
forethought to rend the signs of
the hmes, ai d the independence* to
promise an official recognition ot
the claims and meri’sof the colored
voter, he ia my candidate, and I
venture my reputation as a prophet
that 'nine-tenth-' of the colored vote
will go in the same direction.
